Álvaro wants to be an author, but everything he puts down on paper rings false, pretentious and insipid. He works as a clerk at a notary’s office in Seville and his life is dull, only coloured by his dreams. His wife, Amanda, is quite the opposite. She’s always had her feet firmly on the ground and has never dreamt of becoming an author. However, she sets out to write and produces a bestseller. The ironies of life. Separation is inevitable. Just then, Álvaro decides to fulfil his dream: to write a great novel. But he can’t; he has neither the talent nor the imagination. Guided by Juan, his writing teacher, he studies the fundamentals of the novel, until discovering one day that fiction is in fact based on reality. Álvaro starts manipulating his neighbours and friends to create a story, a real story bigger than fiction.

毫無疑問,電影透過正在進行戲劇寫作的主角在辯證生活戲劇性與作品戲劇性之間的磨合關係。觀眾稍後會發現他作品中的主角不是「公寓眾生相」,而確實就是一個「利用公寓眾生相」完成寫作目標的作家鄰居。指向因此明確:整趟英雄旅程同時發生在他的作品與現實生活中,而他正與命運較勁身為作家的實力。
”你得他妈的走进生活,像海明威那样,脱下裤子,把鸟蛋放在桌子上去写“。全片在塞维利亚古城中最现代的那条龙形建筑周围拍摄,非常过瘾和爆笑。当然,自嘲和自黑精神,距离去年阿根廷同题材的《杰出公民》就差了一大截。
无极鲅鱼。
